Title: Saving Emails with attachments
Post by: blacky65 on January 10, 2008, 01:50:10 PM
Hello,

my question is, how could I save my complette mails with the included attachments ?
I exported the mysql database, but I can't find the attachments in the csv-file.

So I searched my installation folder, but there I couldn't find anything.

Is there a chanche to make a backup of my complete mails.

Best regards

Blacky

Yes, you can backup your emails with IMAPSize (http://www.broobles.com/imapsize/).

Hello Rudy,

thx, it's great. O0
I tested it and it works fine.
The best option is to create a batch-file.
I placed it in the WinXP startup folder,
so it works automaticly every reboot.

Best regards

You're welcome. :) I actually moved all my imap accounts to a new server with this little useful piece of software.
Btw, would you mind providing the batch file for everyone? I'm using Mac OS X but I'm sure that it might be helpful for other people.

Hello again ;)

I copied the follwing text from the IMAPSize website.
Have fun, it works really great.

I installed the programm in C:\Program Files\IMAPSize

Command line Backups

IMAPSize allows you to perform backups invoked from the command line.
This enables you to run IMAP backups from a script. You have to provide the -backup switch
and specify the account you wish to backup as the parameter of the -account switch.
For example, to backup an account named "test_account", you would invoke it like this:

imapsize -backup -account=test_account

Notes:


This is done automatically if you have already performed a backup from the IMAPSize UI.
Alternatively, you can specify these with the "Save Folders" option in the Account Backup dialog.

or if you have Unix tools installed, you can monitor the progress of the backup with tail -f imapsize.log | grep "bak "
[/list]

Best regards
